> sc.range() doesn't match python range()
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-8116
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8116
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PySpark
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0, 1.4.1
> Reporter: Ted Blackman
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: easyfix
>
> Python's built-in range() and xrange() functions can take 1, 2, or 3
> arguments. Ranges with just 1 argument are probably used the most frequently,
> e.g.:
> for i in range(len(myList)): ...
> However, in pyspark, the SparkContext range() method throws an error when
> called with a single argument, due to the way its arguments get passed into
> python's range function.
> There's no good reason that I can think of not to support the same syntax as
> the built-in function. To fix this, we can set the default of the sc.range()
> method's `stop` argument to None, and then inside the method, if it is None,
> replace `stop` with `start` and set `start` to 0, which is what the c
> implementation of range() does:
